Prior to his junior season campaign for Louisville football, star wide receiver Tutu Atwell decided to declare for the 2021 NFL Draft.

Early on in the evaluating process, it appeared that Atwell would be in the mix to be a middle round pick due to the speed and explosiveness he can bring to the position. His size and ability to catch the ball in traffic were the concerns.

That outlook has apparently changed in the NFL draft community.

As a Cardinal, Atwell posted over 2,000 yards receiving and 20 touchdowns in 32 total games played.
